Deployment ADMIN

I was using WDS, but the service would keep not wanting to start after a month. the only way to fix that was to rebuild the deployment server. With smart deploy, the issue I has was it would keep failing to contact the SD api to register my account to allow me to login. I got it working on 1 device, and I will use that device for the onsite guys to deploy our custom OS to endpoints, but i'm trying to find a better solution for in the office for mass deployment.

Dear fellow homelab enthusiasts, MSP's, ETC. I'm wondering what the best solution to deploying windows is? I've tried smart deploy, but to buggy. I've also tried WDS, but it for some reason corrupts itself after about a month, I've also used MDT and will probably continue to look into MDT, but I'm wondering what would be the best way to mass deploy windows? I need to deploy arround 50 desktops per week. Thank you!

I'm sure the server is setup properly because it works with other images, unless if there are drivers that are specific to PXE. And as far as my image, I don't know if there is probably a Network driver I need for PXE.

Dear reader, I am having an issue with Windows Deployment Services where I add my install Image I captured using powershell and it will show no images found on the client side. I will then remove the image from WDS and it will fix the issue. I was wondering if it is an image issue or a server issue, and how would I go about fixing that. Thank you!

yeah something like that. I just don't know what brands are better than others, and I am also seeing if there is any issues with msi

probably some 4k video editing and rendering in 3ds max and Maya

kind of like some hard-core games. I need a laptop that's similar to this one, but I'm open to other brands except Apple. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/alienware-x15-r1-15-6-fhd-gaming-laptop-intel-core-i7-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3070-512gb-solid-state-drive-white-lunar-light/6464984.p?skuId=6464984

Dear reader, I am looking to get some more info on gaming laptops. I am going to drop arround 2 grand. I have herd that msi has issues, but I don't know if that is true. I am looking at an ailenware x15, but am open to ideas. Thanks for the help!

Dear Reader, I am on windows server 2019, I also have an external drive connected to the server. I go into file explorer, right click and select properties and click on the sharing tab and file explorer crashes every time. Please help me find a fix for this. Thanks!

for performance it doesn't have to be a crazy fast drive. maby arround 1 gb writes at least

The standard is PCIe and alot is at least 30 TB reads and writes

ok Thank you! I am just cloning one device. not provisioning today lol

Dear reader, Would you know of a free software to take a drive in my system, and clone it to another drive, operating system and everything. I am able to use a windows PE through a PXE server if necessary. Thanks!

Dear reader, would you know of a 1TB M.2 SSD that can handle a LOT of reads and writes. Thanks!

Thank you again!
